</div>I thought exactly the same thing until I lost all my channel info on all 3<br>
cables cards until I rebooted the router. You can see the channel list if you<br>
go to the HDHomerun Prime's web page and click on Channel Lineup (I think that's<br>
what it's called).<br>
<br>
Before rebooting the router I only saw channel 97, and immediately after<br>
rebooting the router I saw all my channels again, and I could immediately go to<br>
a frontend and watch live tv where as before I kept getting "invalid virtual<br>
channel number" in the backend log file.<br>
<br>
If it's not the router I would, from just a curious point of view, be interested<br>
in knowing why rebooting the router did fix it.<br>
